BACKGROUND 1. Field

One or more embodiments relate to an arylamine-based compound including a thermally decomposable group and an organic light-emitting including the arylamine-based compound.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices that produce full-color images, and also have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, and excellent characteristics in terms of brightness, driving voltage, and response speed, as compared to other devices in the art.

An example of such organic light-emitting devices may include a first electrode disposed on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, recombine in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons transit (e.g., transition or relax) from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

In one embodiment, the thermally decomposable group represented by Formula 2-1 may be selected from groups represented by Formulae 3-1 to 3-12, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto:

The arylamine-based compound including the thermally decomposable group may be selected from Compounds 1 to 44, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto:

Even when coated and heat-treated, the thermally decomposable group of the arylamine-based compound including the thermally decomposable group does not form a double bond as being bound to a primary carbon, so that a hydroxyl (—OH) group remains after thermal decomposition and accordingly a solvent resistance may be secured in the process of forming an additional thin film. For example, in Formula 1, X may be a hydroxyl group (—OH group) after the thermally decomposable group has been thermally decomposed and removed. For example, the thermally decomposable group may be thermally decomposed and removed when Z=C—Y group in Formula 2-1 is converted to gas, e.g, CO₂. Thus, the arylamine-based compound in which the thermally decomposable group has been thermally decomposed and removed may be represented by Formula 1 in which X is a hydroxyl group (—OH group) and the remaining components are as described herein above. The arylamine-based compound in which the thermally decomposable group has been thermally decomposed and removed may be polymerized and/or cross-linked to form an arylamine-based polymer formed from the arylamine-based compound.

A synthesis method for the thermally decomposable group-containing arylamine-based compound represented by Formula 1 would be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by referring to the following examples described herein.

In one or more embodiments, the hole transport region may include at least one arylamine-based compound.

For example, the electron transport region may include a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer, and the hole transport layer may include at least one arylamine-based compound.

Example 1

As an anode, a Corning 15 Ω/cm² (120 nm) ITO glass substrate was cut to a size of 50 mm×50 mm×0.7 mm, sonicated with isopropyl alcohol and pure water each for 5 minutes, and then cleaned by exposure to ultraviolet rays for 30 minutes.

PEDOT-PSS (AI4083) manufactured by Bayer was coated on the glass substrate and heat-treated at a temperature of 150° C. for 30 minutes to form a hole injection layer having a thickness of 500 Å. A mixture of 2 g of a xylene solution and 0.1 g of Compound 4 was spin-coated on the hole injection layer, dried at a temperature of 100° C. for 10 minutes, and thermally crosslinked at a temperature of 200° C. for 30 minutes to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of 700 Å.

A solution in which Compound A (host) and Compound B (dopant) (host ratio: 5%) were dissolved in a xylene solution was spin-coated on the hole transport layer and dried at a temperature of 100° C. for 10 minutes to form an emission layer having a thickness of 350 Å.

Then, Compound C and LiQ (8-hydroxyquinolinolato-lithium) were vacuum-deposited on the emission layer at a ratio of 5:5 to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of 200 Å. 10 Å of LiQ (electron injection layer) and 2,000 Å of Al (cathode) were sequentially vacuum-deposited on the electron transport layer, thereby completing the manufacture of an organic light-emitting device.
